Electrically isolated heat dissipating junction box
First Claim
1. A junction box comprising:
- a first chamber;
a second chamber;
a first lid configured to cover the first chamber; and
a shield bonded to the first lid, the shield comprising an electrically conductive shielding,wherein the shield connects electrically to a heat sink to form a Faraday cage, the Faraday cage configured to suppress Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) emission from the junction box.

Abstract
A junction box used for making electrical connections to a photovoltaic panel. The junction box has two chambers including a first chamber and a second chamber and a wall common to and separating both chambers. The wall may be adapted to have an electrical connection therethrough. The two lids are adapted to seal respectively the two chambers. The two lids are on opposite sides of the junction box relative to the photovoltaic panel. The two lids may be attachable using different sealing processes to a different level of hermeticity. The first chamber may be adapted to receive a circuit board for electrical power conversion. The junction box may include supports for mounting a printed circuit board in the first chamber. The second chamber is configured for electrical connection to the photovoltaic panel. A metal heat sink may be bonded inside the first chamber.
